One joke–just to start. One.
Was anti-Semitism a requirement for appearing in Edge of Darkness?
Ok. I’m done.
Mel’s return to the screen (pause–people actually saw Signs) tries hard to not be the return of a movie star. He’s got a lot of scars (the two on his forehead, are those really his?) and he’s balding and he’s got […]
